By shear coincidence I had bought 10 cup cakes yesterday. 4 Red Velvet 6 store plain brand butterfly. Red Velvet almost $1 each, store brand just over 50 cents

Red Velvet not worth the extra

Gush over a Flake Bar OK, not so much over Red Velvet cup cake

Back to coffee :)

Ummmmm

Born in one day! Midwife in me says no

Die in one day! Again no, a person's length of dieing begins at the cutting of the umbilical cord and ends at brain death

Change in one day! Perhaps a segment of yourself

Fall in love in one day! YES :) repeatedly in one day along with on many different days

Anything can happen in just one day! Ask any of the astronauts who went to the Moon "How long was the journey?"

~ Henry David Thoreau
